    how about..............

    Hi Nick.. I believe the problem with the masturbatell engines (Wankel) were that the engines were, and probably still are - ahead of their time.. they suffered tip seal failures and the materials were not the best.. even now. the rotary has suffered due to the green rush.. it is probably...

    sorry, yes, Nick.. it IS controlled by the ECU I think.. it is possible that it has its own controller.. but that would fall outside renos strategy of combining everything including the rear wiper (seriously !) into the ecu.. Joe.

    How good is VVT

    Hiya Nick.. the concept IS a bit wierd aint it the pump UNIT (containing the reg) can sense the pressure in the single line. as fuel is injected, the pressure would normally drop, but, as the pump has reserve quantity as a buffer, and, the speed of the pump and regulator pressure(we...

    Yo Ben m8. Capt. Your abbreviations are beyond me. what WOT? Wide Open Throttle - this is often where the efi system uses a simple look up table and not math !!.. the Lamda is bypassed too.. this can only be altered by reprogramming the ecu or adding fuel pressure (or more fuel)...

    How good is VVT

    Oh Ben, one major point.. if your mods cause leaning out at the top end.. be very careful.. you CANNOT add a fuel pressure reg (ie Rising Rate) to compensate due to the non return system. the Pressure MAY be adjustable electronically in the integrated reg on the fuel pump in the tank...

    Which is the true power figure for a 172

    ak, absolutely, the hill power is good kit.. as all of Nicks stuff is. there is possbily more to gain if Nick can sort the lean mix out at WOT. Nick tests his stuff, piper just seem to want to make money. if there is a test done on the piper that shows an improvement, then cool.. but...

    How good is VVT

    Hi Ben, the norm is for full throttle look for about 5% that will keep the engine safe. When Nick Hill tested his superb airbox system, it was found that the mix was leaning out to unsafe quantities at WOT.. better watch that one.! as for other techy stuff.. I wil sell ya me mother if ya can...

    Hi Ben.. errrrrr, well... not a lot to report actually, a very quick test revealed nothing different really it may be noticable with a dyno or on fuel consumption, but I am baffled. I would be interested to know your findings. I have not spent much time on this, but first result was...
